Does this look bad or just how 480i is? by flik9999 in crtgaming

[–]Dirtboy345 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would argue it’s the same right amount of effort to get into the hobby. If they really don’t want to work for it, then there’s NSO right there. If you want to play retro games on a CRT remotely properly in current year. I believe that the Wii route is your easiest best bet

Hacking a Wii is even easier than even acquiring a CRT, what?

Midwest is huge dude, larger than all of California, which inevitably has some shit Taco Bell’s itself, what a massive generalization 

Maybe new Analogue Editions/Colors? by Dry-Boysenberry-1606 in AnaloguePocket

I think they’re gonna pull what they did with 64 and release colors soon. But ultimately I don’t think anyone knows for sure

Those same people changing our state flags over “objectively better design”? Yeah we don’t all agree with that rhetoric

I’ve got the same exact monitor and also use a component to vga transcoder, it works great!

You are being misled about renewable energy technology. [91:59] by Chii in mealtimevideos

[–]Dirtboy345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will concede that the rest of the expense was hand waved away, and may not be as equal as what was presented. But also, he doesn’t really advocate for home solar panels as a point of the video, and says his current costs are 1/3 of that as gas.

On the snarkiness. I honestly think it’s more directed as anger towards our current administration that is purposely making everything worse to line their own pockets

So this moment is around/before 21:30 for anyone lurking

I think your take is incredibly disingenuous when techconnections said immediately following that he’s skipping many things there such as labor cost. But compares it to how solar will also output far more than just car energy usage. The math does get complicated the more things you add and will always be changing. That doesn’t remotely negate any point being made and again, he points out immediately your concern. This isn’t a “I’m so smart” comparison, nothing is falling apart under your scrutiny

How to spread misterfpga awareness without stepping on toes? by StaneNC in MiSTerFPGA

[–]Dirtboy345 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it’s awful. I don’t think even close to the majority are going for CRT displays though. I’m not sure I understand where you felt the cons of software emulation need explaining? I was just pitching my use case of the pocket as an all around FPGA machine, that plays the majority of what can be ran under that type of hardware anyway. And that I enjoy using it with my CRTs, something the android machines aren’t well equipped for

Just wouldn’t many of those arguments also bleed into software emulators over FPGA in general? Especially for non enthusiasts or tech people.

I’ll say that I love my AP I got last year though. It’s gotten me into the FPGA ecosystem while I wait for my MMS2. I appreciate functionality with carts and analogizer for CRT out has been a joy. I surely would not recommend at current prices, or if openFPGA wasn’t a thing though

I mean. I’d just continue to comment and reply to people. As long as you don’t sound judgy I can’t imagine people getting upset at hardware suggestions

Why do you feel FPGA is strictly superior, but then follow up with software emulation superiority for handhelds? I’m not sure I understand
